Opera's latest iteration Opera 11.50 (Swordfish) beta desktop browser is available for testing from today. The new beta transforms the Speed Dial feature by adding extensions to the mix. Speed Dial extensions transform your Speed Dial from a simple thumbnail bookmark into a dynamic source of updated content, available in every new tab.
Swordfish also lets you synchronize your passwords securely through Opera Link, so you can log on to Facebook, your web-mail and other sites, from anywhere. Opera Link also synchronizes bookmarks, your Speed Dial, custom search engine preferences, notes, typed browser history and more. "We don't make releases for the sake of releases, nor do we make innovations for the sake of innovation," said Jan Standal, VP of desktop products, Opera.
"We create browsers that make the Web faster and easier to use, and the newest features in Swordfish support that goal."
Swordfish beta is available through Opera Next, a version of Opera that updates to the newest test versions of the browser.
